Body Corporate Committee Member Oversteps the Line!

Body Corporate Committee Member with Master Keys to the building at Beachcomber Resort, are you serious this is #Bullshit check out the Gold Coast Bulletin link below it is very clear a certain member has overstepped the mark as a committee member of the Body Corporate and should step down.

Not only was he trespassing, Beachcomber management have a letter of complaint from the Security company that this gentleman was also inviting schoolies staying in the building to his Apartment.

I went to Wikepedia and found the description of the extent of a committee members responsibilities

Committee

Every body corporate has a committee. The committee is like the board of directors of a company. It has specified powers, although generally speaking, it shares power with the general meeting of the body corporate. The committee's powers are not as extensive as the powers of the average company board of directors. It is responsible for formulating policy for consideration by the body corporate in general meeting. Once the policy is set the committee is responsible for ensuring that its office bearers implement that policy.The office bearers of the committee comprise a chairperson, a secretary and a treasurer. Each office bearer has a range of duties. They are answerable to the committee. Because they are volunteers they are usually assisted by a professional administrative officer.

So the questions and actions are here:

1.   Why has this member given himself powers over what his duties as a committee member   
       are?
2.   Why did this member enter an Owners unit and portray himself as the Owner?
3.   Why does this member have a a Master Key to the building giving him access to every 
      Owners Apartment?  
      (as an Owner I would be asking the Body Corporate this question.)
4.   Why does this member believe he is above the law? The Owners of the Apartment he 
      entered should have him charged with trespass!
5.   The Schoolies who were in the unit should be suing his butt off for the cost of their 
      holiday and the stress!
6.   Other committee members should not be leasing their apartments to prostitutes!
7.   This member has destroyed the hard work of the Management who have worked hard to 
      instill in the schoolies that balcony hopping is dangerous and can be fatal!
8.   Why was this member inviting schoolies to his Apartment. This member should be stood 
      down and forced to sell out and be removed from the Resort.
9.   The Owners should be holiday letting their Apartments not leasing them long term, 
      Beachcomber is a Holiday Resort.
10. The Body Corporate Committee should be Proactive in assisting the Management rather 
      than deciding they are the law, if there is a problem in an Apartment the Management 
      have procedures in place!

Beachcomber Resort Management have worked hard to bring the Resort back to a good reputable standard - that being a nice Resort for families to enjoy their holidays right in the heart of Surfers Paradise only metres from the beach.

  1. Do any of the owners at Beachcomber see the pattern here over the last 3 years every time police, ambulance, fire are called the Apartment involved belongs to a committee member or is managed by Surfers International Realty - surely you can see it!

    1. This building manager likes to pass the blame. Look at the trip advisor comments and nearly all negative comments involve the building manager and the reception staff. The standard of staff The building Manager employs.

  2. Body Corporate Committee are a joke at this property but more fool the owners if they don't start being proactive and supporting the management about there property - kick the idiots out find a committee that works for you instead of against you. Golly Beachcomber is metres from the beach and your Body Corp Committee rent most of it out to Prostitutes and Drug Dealers

    1. A committee is voted in by its people and work endersley to achieve the best for other owners. Committee members are owners and have the best interest of the building at heart.
      Those who criticise the committee obviously have no idea the challenges this Beachcomber building manager puts up to them.
      The Building Manager is paid by the Body Corporate and employed to do caretaking duties as instructed by the Body Corporate. The Building Manager refuses to do the job he is paid to do then all owners and the building suffer. This Building Manager needs to stop blaming the committee and instead try working with them. Perhaps this person who wrote the above should ask how many prostitutes and drug dealers does the Management rent to and employ. Stop pointing the finger.

  3. That's right, find a committee that works well for the Resort.

  4. Surely anyone with a brain can figure out that the only constant at Beacomber Resort is the building manager...... the committee changes every year, because they are volunteers !
    The building manager is responsible for the letting of units as part of his building managers contract ....
    The committee has NOTHING to do with who the BUILDING MANAGER lets the unit to...... the building manager is only worried about his fee !!!!!
    grow a brain people !
    The body corporate committee take care of common areas, like the pool or the lifts......
    you people need to read the Body Corporate and Community Management - Justice Dept of Qld By Laws and so does this so called building manager.....

    I've stayed there as well .... he needs to do his job which is to keep the building in "Tip Top Condition" according to his CONTRACT !

  5. Above comment is far from true you need to get a brain and get your facts right the committee re vote themselves in every year (voting is rigged by them) The BUILDING MANAGER does not have all the units in the letting pool - owners rent them privately through outside real estates and the committee members rent their units themselves
    You don't get it do you - the building manager presents to the body corporate committee monthly quotes to maintain the building on behalf of the owners the same committee keep knocking back the quotes how can the Building Manager keep the building in Tip Top Condition - you should read the acts you are preaching first then come back and comment again

    1. This is a strata titled building in which the OWNERS OF THE UNITS, CHOOSE WHO THEY WANT TO MANAGE FOR THEM.
      The OWNERS decide whether to holiday or permanent rent their property.
      The Building Manager has a contract which is rewarded in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS; which states among other things, that The Building Manager must keep the Common Areas in TIP TOP CONDITION ! This contract also allows letting rights IF OWNERS GIVES THEM TO HIM,TO MANAGE !
      The Voluntary Committee, which has changed every year according to Archers Body Corporate Management records are restricted
      in how they spend the owners Levies which are collected by Archers Body Corporpate Management who are also responsible for
      insuring the BCCM ( Accomodation Module ) By Laws are adhered to.
      If the building manager put the same effort into doing his job and actually being nice to owners, as he puts into blaming everyone else, he would probably get more management rights.
      If the building manager actually got two independant quotes for all work as required in the By Laws, things would get done alot quicker
      especially if the work was actually for the COMMON AREAS ON THE PROPERTY which the committee IS responsible for.
